THE "ONE-EYED ONE-HORNED FLYING PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS" DESCEND ON SIX NATIONS WITH ANOTHER INJUNCTION
Mnn. March 31, 2006. The invaders think that if they give us a
piece of paper, they can eat us all up. They started eating up all
the Beothuk on the east coast. When they finished them all off,
they headed west. Their voracious appetite couldn't be satisfied.
Once they start eating, they can't stop. Such hogs!
Rumor has it that the Ontario court has made another secret
unilateral injunction. Sheriff John Dobson arrived at 4:30 pm
Wednesday, March 30th, at the Douglas Creek Estates in a white
government car with two women who stayed in the car. He showed up
with an Indian guy named Monte as his "Tonto", a Six Nations
resident. Tonto arrived in an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser
with another Indian cop from Manitoulin Island. Dobson seems to
think he's hot stuff like a sheriff in a cowboys and Indians movie.
He was gaudily attired in the usual colonial regalia. It was a
pukey green outfit, a bullet proof vest and a side arm. Can you
think of a better representation of the colonial belief that "might
makes right" than this? Did he think that legality depended on his
clothing fetishes? The poor chap was obviously deranged.
The men had painted a thick black line on the road. His "Kemosabe"
was standing close by. When they were told to back off, they did a
quick step dance to the side.
With his big toe barely touching the line Dobson started babbling
away in some sort of alien purple people eater tongue. He was
looking at a script he held in his hand. He acted like the Ontario
Court had asked him to deliver a pizza – or was it another
unilateral in'junk'tion? Doesn't he know that the Ontario Court is
supposed to uphold the honor of the Crown? Doesn't he know that
under both international and Canadian law, when negotiations
fail, "everyone shall be entitled to a fair and public hearing by a
competent, independent and impartial tribunal"? Since when was an
Ontario court neutral in a dispute between Ontario and an Indigenous
nation?
The women saw the antics of Dobson and his "faithful Indian
companion" bizarre and for the `junk' it was. They started to drum
and sing loudly hoping that Dobson and Monte would regain their
sanity and come to their senses.
Then the Six Nations People served him with an injunction that "you
are in violation of Kaianereh'ko:wa, state of peace, … by your
actions of aggression, violence, breaking the peace, conspiracy to
commit murder, … blood sacrifice, genocide against the On'kwe'hon:we, original people of the land". Dobson jumped as if he was scared by his own reflection in the mirror. He said, "I am not
part of this".
They dropped their paper on the ground, jumped on their high horses
and headed into the sunset. "Hey, you're littering", one of the
guys yelled after them. They didn't turn back to clean up their
mess.
When the men drew a black line on the ground they were reminding all
of the territorial divide between Indigenous and Canadian
jurisdiction. The Indigenous people agreed to allow the Europeans to
find refuge on Turtle Island. We never agreed to give up our
property and lives to them. We negotiated the Two Row Wampum
agreement to share the river. The refugees were to remain in their
own boat on a parallel path with the Indigenous people.
The refugees were seriously deranged and had a maniacal plan. They
refused to respect Indigenous law. Motivated by full blown greed
they decided to unilaterally take over the whole of Turtle Island by
using a process called "genocide". They kept pushing us off our
territories. They killed 99% us. They told themselves they were
on "a mission from god".
To cope with this insane behavior we tried to deal with these lost
lunatics in terms that they understood. We tried to get them to
control themselves, but to avail. One of the agreements was made on
October 25, 1784. The Six Nations got General Haldimand to make a
commitment on behalf of the King George III of England to protect us
and our future generations forever, on a territory stretching for
six miles on either side of the Grand River from its mouth to its
source.
The colonizers refused to abide by their word. The colonial
governments did keep themselves or their wayward subjects in check.
They're still trying to steer our canoe and force us into their boat
at gunpoint.
That black line on the road was meant to remind colonial society
that they had agreed to respect our independence and our title to
Turtle Island in return for our alliance in their disputes with
their European cousins. We only formed alliances in the first place
because we needed protection from them. We are not under their
jurisdiction. We never agreed to become British subjects. We never
agreed to become Canadian citizens.
We really need to find an international mediator right now – someone
who doesn't have an interest in the outcome. It won't be easy to
find one. So many states are committed to appropriating indigenous
land. Perhaps it needs a mediation team, including representatives
of both Indigenous people and colonial states who are not involved
in this particular dispute. The mediators must understand the
colonial law that the colonizers are seeking to uphold as well as
our law, the Kaianereh'ko:wa. If they don't want to go for outside
help, they could try mediating with us on our terms according to the
Kaianereh'ko:wa. We've tried for over two centuries their form of
negotiations based on their use of force and threats. This never
worked. Now they have to try and do it our way. They might be
surprised at how well it works if only they would give it a try. If
only they could understand.
Unfortunately the colonizers have never been healed since squatting
on Turtle Island. They've become one of the most materially
wealthy "cookie monsters" in the world, while they remain socially
and spiritually impoverished. Their relationships are all based on
domination and immediate gain with no thought for the future
generations.
Despite their huge horde of stolen Indigenous property which they
amassed as a result of the holocaust they caused, they refuse to
share anything with us or our future generations. Their plan is
that in another 20 years there will be no more "Indian problem".
You can't steal land. You can only illegally occupy it. You can't
put it in your pocket and walk away. You have to kill the
Indigenous people on it and then put your roots in our place. We
aren't going to let you do it.
To them everything is their personal possession. They think that
only some of their people have rights of ownership. How can this
sickness be cured? The great peace under the Kaianereh'ko:wa, the
law of Turtle Island.
